[vox-tech] Realtime Linux Challenge--Need Help

[Richard Harke]

Why don't you send me the same files and the reference. I can look at it later 
this evening and then I can let you know what I think. I assume you have
internet connection through a different machine in case something
else was needed in the middle of working on this one. I had a laptop
but its got some hardware problems.
